Alice in GPTland

This morning I am experimenting with chatGPT - specifically the beta of the plugins functionality.   I am asking it to do a review of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.  The article is then decorated with a number of images generated from the review text.  Alright, I've read the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. Now, let's dive into a review in the style of Philomena Cunk. Ahem. So, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a book by Lewis Carroll, who was not only an author but also a mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman, and photographer. Talk about a busy man, eh? He must've had a diary busier than a bee on speed. ![](https://odysseymercantile.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/508_rs_508-2_Ahem._So_Alices_Adventures_in_Wonderland_is_a_book_by_f0bc4847-0766-4a03-a685-c97720c5b530.jpg) ![](https://odysseymercantile.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/508_rs_508-3_Now_this_book_its_all_about_a_girl_named_Alice_who_fa_e1836d08-7731-4009-9a0e-00052a022fd5.jpg) Now, this book, it's all about a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole. Not your everyday occurrence, I must say. It's a bit like when you fall into a YouTube hole, watching videos of cats playing pianos, and suddenly it's 3 a.m. and you've somehow ended up on a documentary about the manufacturing of rubber ducks. Anyway, Alice meets all sorts of peculiar characters in this Wonderland. There's a rabbit who's always late, a cat that disappears, and a queen who's got a bit of a thing for beheading. It's a bit like a strange dream after you've had too much cheese before bed. ![](https://odysseymercantile.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/508_rs_508-6_Anyway_Alice_meets_all_sorts_of_peculiar_characters_i_171f8026-677c-408e-a6bd-9c3ddcd0931f.jpg) ![](https://odysseymercantile.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/508_rs_508-5_Carrolls_got_a_knack_for_wordplay_and_fantasy_which_i_9a10e04e-5750-4515-9f02-ca10daa4dff6.jpg) Carroll's got a knack for wordplay and fantasy, which is all well and good if you're into that sort of thing. But if you're looking for a straightforward story, you might end up scratching your head more than a flea-ridden dog. In conclusion, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a bit like a rollercoaster ride through a world where nothing makes sense and everything is possible. It's a bit like life, really, but with more talking animals and less tax returns. ![](https://odysseymercantile.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/508_rs_508-4_In_conclusion_Alices_Adventures_in_Wonderland_is_a_bi_96713f9b-8ae4-449e-9129-eef8a6afc3b7.jpg)
